FLOWERS AND PLANTS.
New Haveners BeautifYing Their Homes and Grounds to an Unwonted Extent This Spring.

New Haveners Identifying Their
 Homes and Grounds to an Unwonted
 Extent This Spring.
 One of the events of the day on Chapel street is the grand display at Dickerman's, opposite the New Haven Opera House. It beats all previous displays at this noted re- sort for flowers and plants all hollow, and no wonder it attracts so large a number of the ladies and excites so much praise. The dis play is great credit to New Haven and to the proverbial enterprise of MT. Dickerman are added new laurels. In front of his office and display rooms extra conservatories have been built extending to the sidewalk, shut in by lacework of wire. Here can be seen a magnificent display of vines, and in the opposite receptacle is 8 splendid show of the vases and baskets in the various styles, filled with choice plants. The vases are very artistic in style. In the rear of the office large new greenhouse has been added, and is packed full of vases large and small, filled with choice and beautiful Towering and foliage plants, all of which are sold and go to adorn New Haven residences and grounds. Back of these is a mammoth stock of vases-the rustic vase, iron vases, Highland vases and Romanesque vases, all ready for peoples orders to beautiful plants. The large greenhouses of MT. Dickerman at East Haven are far from depopulated of plants notwithstanding these mammoth displays at his Chapel street green houses, and that leads us to note the great and increasing demand among New Haven CTS for beautifying their residences and grounds with plants and flowers, and espe- cially vases and rustic baskets. Bridgeport leads New Haven in the number of houses and grounds so decorated, but great impe tus has been given this artistic and beautiful mode of embellishing houses this season. In bedding out plants the display at Dicker- mans challenges admiration and commands the attention of hundreds of our people. Call and see the display. It is well worth 8 visit, as all who see it will confirm.
